There are artist's pinholes in the two upper corners. There is some creasing visible, most notably in the upper right quadrant, where the Japan paper has been laid down. There are some additional creases and possible minor tears to the extreme edges of the sheet. In both lower corners there is evidence of flattened creases. The sheet is lightly time struck. This work is in good condition.
